Read that interview a few weeks ago, actually! And he’s correct, trying to go easy on an enemy that will thoroughly destroy you with the most brutal of measures possible is a luxury Socialists cannot afford to take if we want to build a world without such brutality to begin with.
It’s been said before, but you can be “authoritarian” like the Soviets and give people healthcare, housing, food, etc. or you can be a good christian against “authoritarianism” and give people a military dictatorship.
Yep, conversations around “authoritarianism” usually wind back down to just disapproving going against the status quo, regardless of how popular the measures in place are within their countries. The CPC has an over 90% approval rate, and people call it “authoritarian” functionally because businesses are heavily restricted by the state.
